Orateur : Dr. Inge Nelissen (VITO, Belgique)
Abstract :
Nanomaterials are recognized as one of the enabling technologies to innovation. Nanoscale objects interact with living organisms in a fundamentally new manner. In a biological environment molecular interactions may occur at their surface, leading to the formation of a biomolecule corona. They are also able to enter living cells and interfere with cellular processes. In this lecture possible implications for human health and application fields in which these nano-bio interactions are exploited to stimulate innovation will be discussed.
Biography
Inge Nelissen is trained as bio-engineer (1998) and obtained her PhD degree in 2003 from the Catholic University of Leuven. Since 2004 she joined VITO (Flemish Institute for Technological Research, Mol, Belgium) where she started as a researcher in the development and validation of in vitro cell-based assays for chemical and nanomaterials safety assessment. In 2011 she became project manager leading the research programme on nano-bio interactions in the Applied Bio&molecular Systems group. She is partner in several EU framework projects in the field of nanosafety, and expert member of working groups of the OECD Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials, EU NanoSafetyCluster, and ETP-Nanomedicine.
